(57) A display unit for articles comprises a plurality of elongate channels 3 suspended
one from the other. Each of the channels 3 is of generally J-shaped cross-section
for supporting the articles in the troughs thereby formed. Each longer arm of the
J-shaped channel has a hook 3a which is engageable with the shorter arm of a J-shaped
channel above. On the uppermost channel 3, the hook 3a is engageable with a bracket
2a or other support on a display surface 1 so as to provide a suspended tiered display.
Struts in the form of sockets fixed to the rear of the channels 3 and rods 4 engaged
in the sockets act as supports for the channels 3 against the mounting surface 1.
